priority of government

1. security of lives and properties
2. welfare of citizens
a. payment of salaries
b. infrastructural development
c. creation of jobs etc

payment of salaries is not really number one priority of govt
Payment of salaries seems like welfare to you?

Other nations have used population increase to their advantage. The economy won’t grow just because of wishful thinking. The economic environment has to encourage business and distribute wealth

Greed, selfishness, hate for africa, lack of intelligence, hardcore stupidity, and because if they pay those the state owes including ongoing projects- they won't have any more left to flex.

Stop living in a fool's paradise

Before one gets to the level of being a possible winner of a gubernatorial election in Nigeria, he cannot be credible

Even if you were good, your godfather will make u look otherwise

If there's no revolution in Nigeria, we will continue running around in circle
ok good u are also in the same fools paradise oga

fergie001:
Ikpeazu matter dey vex hisgrace wella oooo
It didn't start with him sha
Failure OUK did the same thing to TA Orji while the latter was in Kirikiri Prisons as Chief of Staff...
He surrounded TA Orji with all his people,from HOS to Deputy Governor to Speaker...everybody...
Sooner or later..fight enter,sharing formula...the rest is history...

For salaries,its a two way thing......
1. We have devils masquerading as Governors....I have said it severally,that the worst governance in this country can be seen at the state level.....they want to impoverish everyone so that you all have to bow down to them,beg for food,then they become the lord of the manor.

2. Most of them inherited heavy backlog of salaries that if they begin to pay,they will be left with little or no cash to do anything tangible... This is owing to an overbloated civil service,and all that.....so what they do is simple...indulge in half salaries or don't pay at all....



OP,you seem to be running around in a staccato....you attack salaries and then blame the NA...These are two different things entirely,which are not mutually exclusive..but is it possible to make laws that salaries must be paid by the houses led by Saraki and Dogara?These states have lawmakers themselves who are usually lackeys to the Governors.
So,let's take one at a time......save your disdain for the NA who imho are doing the best they can though not enough
....Otherwise,we can challenge the Presidency and NA to openly publish what they spend......heads will roll

the number 1 priority of any government is to create prosperity for her citizens. The main reason the government can't meet up with its recurrent expenditure is the size of its budget. 9 trillion naira for almost 200 million people is a huge joke, that is 45k per person in a year lets ask ourselves what can 45 k do for a citizen in a year? I'm not exonerating financial irresponsibility on the part of the government but lets face it we wont go very far on a lean budget irrespective of how judicious it is spent.
The government has to find ways to increase the revenue from Non Oil & Non Tax sectors.


Government can invest in partnership businesses with the private sector eg Imagine a State Government partnering with a livestock agribusiness to generate more revenue by producing & supplying more and cheaper meats, eggs, milks, hides & skins etc.

So, your husband told you not to work and you agreed.


Seriously, some of you ladies deserve the sufferings you people find yourselves.


Anyway, God will help you get a job in Jesus Name Amen.

No Lady deserves to suffer, you don't know my story yet you condemn already. What happens to a woman that works so hard with her husband and one day something happens and his family takes all they own? You don't judge people because you feel you are in a better place today. I never said how I almost lost my life or give details, i only need a Job to start my life anew. Please don't judge me, everyone make mistake and you can never know the thoughts of a person. Thank You.

Any Government that want to rule at state or federal level should know that payment of Government workers should be his no 1 priority because through them the market woman, small and large scale business owner will earn their daily need and by the time Government fail to pay the salary or make half payment and increase the rate of poverty and deprived many Nigerians access to right life. I wish senate can wake up in a day in Nigeria and sponsor bill that says that says Not until all Government workers both in states and Federal level get their salaries.....No political office holder will get paid then I know our senators and other legislative arm of Government are working for the sake of Nigerians well being. But they will be sponsoring unnecessary bill that has no positive impact on Nigerians. What a useless and wasted 4 years of Saraki lead 8th senate and Dogara in lower chamber....Saraki lead Senate is The worst senate in the history of Nigeria. God bless me, God bless you, God bless Nigerians, God bless Nigerian.
BECAUSE we don't run a regional government.

4.Because anytime new taxes are propsed...people pretend it would all be eaten by the rich man on top...when it won't. (Corruption exists...but the corrupt cannot eat all the money...it means there won't be anothing left.).
As an example, a few years ago....FCT was rasing revenue via parking tickets in the city. Some Nigerian went to court and got them to stop it. So...how is the FCTA going to raise revenue to make things better in the city.? (By magic apparently)



5.
I hope you know that all the money they realized from those tickets went straight to the pocket of then minister of FCT's son? That was a legit scam of an exercise.

BECAUSE THERE IS NO STATE REVENUE SYSTEM. YOU SEE EACH YEAR A STATE THAT GENERATE 2BILLION ONLY, MAKING BUDGET OF 120BILLION. SO IT IS CHEAPER TO STEAL SUCH MONEY BECAUSE YOU DID NOT WORK FOR IT. AND THE LITTLE REVENUE COMING FROM THE STATE HACKED BY TOP POLITICIANS AND THEIR THUG LOYALISTS. WE HAVE THE CULTURE TO SPEND NOT TO BUILD. AGAIN, THE FG MUST DE-VOLUTE POWERS TO STATE LEVELS. THIS IS WHERE ''RESTRUCTURE'' MAKES SENSE.

OK

Thanks for the correction.

But let me get something clear pls.

Are you saying that the business your husband established was taken away from you.?
Re: Why Is It Always Difficult For Many State Governors To Pay Worker Salaries??? by CioAngels(f): 8:01pm On Sep 08, 2018
They will not pay because the people's salaries they ferry to virgin island, bury in cemeteries, water tanks and many other places. The governors are worse than Anini in stealing yet, Magu is not doing anything to get them disgraced. Fantastically rogues.
Re: Why Is It Always Difficult For Many State Governors To Pay Worker Salaries??? by Kolping: 8:58pm On Sep 08, 2018
The answer to the OP's question is quite simple. There is no money left from the monthly allocation to pay workers because of large payments to a few people.

Re: Why Is It Always Difficult For Many State Governors To Pay Worker Salaries??? by Felixv: 6:31am On Sep 09, 2018
One of the main reason why governors cannot pay salaries is the huge cost of governance.

Most of these governors hav w white retinue of polical advisors, special assistance and hangers on
These are people the governors have to pay first.

Also let’s not forget the corruption of the civil service which has led to the so called ghost worker.

My proposal is a drastic reduction of the size of the government and that includes our wasteful Nass.
